'Methinks 'tis time to smile again ...'
Set in the 1950s during the festive season, post-war Illyria, marked by loss, is still finding its way back to joy when a shipwreck brings 'most wonderful' chaos to its shores. In a melancholy world that craves merriment, disguises are donned, deceptions are devised, celebration collides with propriety, restraint with defiance and love is in the air, leading to hilarious and emotional outcomes.
Join Sun & Moon Theatre in the open air for Shakespeare's greatest comedy drama, featuring a tight-knit dynamic ensemble, live music, wit, laughter, mistaken identities, love and of course cakes and ale! Twelfth Night: or What You Will) is a vibrant production that will delight and entertain - join us this season, rain or shine, for some midsummer madness ...
